The Austrian Public Prosecutor has started an investigation against Dutch Anti-Islam PVV leader Geert Wilders on charges of sedition.
According to reports, aggrieved Muslims pressed charges against Wilders because of his statements comparing the Quran with Adolf Hitler’s book Mein Kampf and demands that the Islamic holy book be banned during a meeting of the right wing populist FPO in Vienna in March.
Interest group Initiative of Muslim Austrians finds that Wilders has made himself guilty of sedition, denigrating religious teachings and breach of the prohibition of reviving Nazi ideology.
FPO leader Heinz-Christian Strache, who organized the event, accepted Wilders’ speech with agreement and applause, according to witnesses.
